I have one rock with a few frags glued to it and I'm not sure how I can get rid of it. I'd rather not take the rock out and soak it in a vinegar solution. I'd rather keep it in the tank if possible. I have hair algae that won't go away and a bit of bubble algae as well.

Clean up crew consist of:
6 nassarius sanils
6 bumble bee snails
2 turbo snails
1 emrald crab
6 hermit crabs

The clean up crew, even the turbos, won't touch it.

i’d say try a lawnmower blenny. i got one when i had algae problems and he made the tank spotless. and i never have to feed him!
 
Would it be good with current stock list?
-2 clowns
-McKoskers Wrasse
-Wheelers goby/pistol combo
-Midas blenny
 
Sea urchins. But theyll also eat your corraline
 
With that little amount I would just manually remove it to the point your CUC can finish it off.. if you want to really want to clear it quick I would pull the rock and use a small stiff brush dipped in hydrogen peroxide to carefully dislodge all the algae you can and then what I do is carefully pour a little peroxide right on effected areas being careful to avoid your corals and then a quick rinse with tank water before returning it to your display.. it will not hurt corals attached to the rock to be out of the water for a few minutes
